OPERATING TIPS
When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate.
However, this is not a malfunction. After
the coolant temperature warms up, the air
flow from the foot outlets will operate
normally.
The sensors
andlocated on the instru-
ment panel help maintain a constant tem-
perature. Do not put anything on or around
the sensors.
LINKING INTELLIGENT KEY
The air conditioner system settings can be
memorized for each Intelligent Key. See
“Setting memory function” (P.3-41).
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
Models without Advanced Climate Control
System:
The climate control system is equipped with
an in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt,
pollen, dust, etc.
Models with Advanced Climate Control
System:
The climate control system is equipped with
a natural grape seed polyphenol filter which
collects and neutralizes dirt, pollen, dust, etc.
To make sure the air conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace
the filter in accordance with the specified
maintenance intervals listed in the “9. Main-
tenance and schedules” section. If replace-
ment is required, it is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog up
easily when operating the heater or air
conditioner.
SERVICING CLIMATE CONTROL
The climate control system in your vehicle is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the
environment in mind.
This refrigerant will
not harm the earth’s ozone layer. However,
special charging equipment and lubricant are
required when servicing your air conditioner.
Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will
cause severe damage to your climate control
system. (See “Capacities and recommended
fluids/lubricants” (P.10-2) for climate con-
trol system refrigerant and lubricant recom-
mendations.)
An INFINITI retailer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly climate control
system.
WARNING
The system contains refrigerant under
high pressure. To avoid personal injury,
any air conditioner service should be
done only by an experienced technician
with the proper equipment.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-35

When installing a car phone or a CB radio in
your vehicle, be sure to observe the follow-
ing cautions, otherwise the new equipment
may adversely affect the electronic control
modules and electronic control system har-
ness.
WARNING
.A cellular phone should not be used
for any purpose while driving so full
attention may be given to vehicle
operation. Some jurisdictions prohibit
the use of cellular phones while
driving.
. If you must make a call while your
vehicle is in motion, the hands-free
cellular phone operational mode (if so
equipped) is highly recommended.
Exercise extreme caution at all times
so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
. If a conversation in a moving vehicle
requires you to take notes, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop
your vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION
.Keep the antenna as far away as
possible from the electronic control
modules.
. Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in
(20 cm) away from the electronic
control system harness. Do not route
the antenna wire next to any harness.
. Adjust the antenna standing-wave
ratio as recommended by the manu-
facturer.
. Connect the ground wire from the CB
radio chassis to the body.
. For details, it is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer.
WARNING
.It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for
a person to drive a motor vehicle
which is equipped with a television
monitor or screen that is visible,
directly or indirectly, to the driver
while operating the vehicle. In the
interest of safety, the unit should
never be installed where it will be
directly or indirectly visible, by the
operator of the motor vehicle.
. For safety reasons when changing
discs, it is recommended that the
vehicle is not in motion, and that
you do not allow children to unfasten
safety belts to change discs or make
any adjustments to the system. Sys-
tem adjustments can be accom-
plished using the remote control,
while safety belts remain fastened.
. Enjoy your RSI system but remember
that safety of all passengers remains
the number one priority. Devices
installed in the USB, HDMI, or head-
phone jack may protrude and create a
potential eye impact hazard for un-
belted passengers during a vehicle
accident. To reduce the risk of injury,
use only SD cards (hidden on left side

USB storage devices.
CAUTION
.If your vehicle is equipped with a
wireless rear seat audio system or
any other wireless infrared device,
make sure it is powered off when
operating the RSI system. If both
systems are powered on at the same
time, the two systems may obstruct
each other, possibly creating undesir-
able audio interference through the
wireless headphones.
. Do not touch the inner pins of the
jacks on the front panel. Electrostatic
discharge may cause permanent da-
mage to the device.
. The LCD display screen is not
touchscreen. Do not put pressure or
add suction cups on the screen.
. Caution children to avoid touching or
scratching the screen, as it may
become dirty or damaged.
. Be sure to run the vehicle engine
while using the system. Using this
system without running the engine
can result in battery drain. To avoid the risk of battery drain, please
remember to turn off the system
when the vehicle is not in use.

position when not in use.
Audio options
Wireless headphones
Each monitor includes a built-in dual channel
infrared transmitter for use with wireless
headphones. The wireless headphones must
be used within a line of sight from the
transmitter as infrared signals, like visible
light, travel only in a straight line.
How to use the wireless headphones
When placing the headphones on your head,
make sure to observe the left and right
orientation. The headphones must be or-
iented correctly (facing forward) to receive
the audio signal. Press the
(power)
button on the headphones, then select
channel “A” to listen to monitor A, or channel
“B” to listen to monitor B. Adjust the audio level using the volume control on each
headphone.
Wired headphones
There is a 3.5mm stereo headphone output
on each monitor which can be used with
most standard stereo headphones (wired
headphones sold separately).
Bluetooth
®streaming audio
To listen to audio throughout the entire
vehicle, the system includes the ability to
stream audio over a Bluetooth
®connection
to the vehicle’s stereo system.
When monitor A is selected as the source to
stream from, the audio output to the wire-
less and wired headphones will be disabled
(only on monitor A). To use the wireless or
wired headphones with monitor A, you must
turn off the Bluetooth
®streaming feature.
To enable/disable Bluetooth®streaming,
navigate to the “SETTINGS” menu, or press
on the remote control during content
playback. For additional information, see
“Settings” (P.4-61).
Media compatibility
For a list of compatible media formats for
this system, see “Storage device formatting”
(P.4-39).
. The metadata or file information of some
audio and video files may not be cor-
rectly displayed. .
It is not possible to play content that is
protected by DRM (Digital Rights Man-
agement).
. There may be a delay before playback
begins when using USB flash drives or
SD cards with complex folder hierarchies
or many files.
. Some audio, video, and image files may
be incompatible with this system due to
file characteristics, file format, recording
software used, directory structure, and/
or the type of audio/video encoding
used.
Storage device formatting
This system is compatible with several types
of formatting for USB flash drives and SD
cards. Refer to the documentation that
comes with your storage device for more
details on how to format.
FAT32 - USB and SDHC
Good for smaller capacity storage devices,
but individual files on the drive must be less
than 4GB. This format is good for music and
images.
EX-FAT - USB and SDXC
Better choice for larger capacity storage
devices with files that are more than 4GB.
This format is better for larger files such as
full-length movies.
